This morning I was running mpirun -v --mca btl mvapi,self -np 12 --hostfile ompimachinefile oodles . les_test1100k -parallel >> ./les_test1100k/log12 &
with openmpi-1.2a1r10111 and everything worked and still works as expected. Now I tried to start a second (very same) job with the following error message as a result: [stokes:29489] [0,0,0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Error in file runtime/orte_init_stage1.c at line 302 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is likely to abort. There are many reasons that a parallel process can fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or environment problems. This failure appears to be an internal failure; here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an Open MPI developer): orte_session_dir failed --> Returned value -1 instead of ORTE_SUCCESS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [stokes:29489] [0,0,0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Error in file runtime/orte_system_init.c at line 42 [stokes:29489] [0,0,0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Error in file runtime/orte_init.c at line 49 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open RTE was unable to initialize properly. The error occured while attempting to orte_init(). Returned value -1 instead of ORTE_SUCCESS. Has anybody an idea what the error might be or how to trag it down? Regards Jens
